DBA and Process Manager in Information Technology at Angel Water, Inc. (51-200 employees employees)

Pros

Drilling down from the map point, to account/work order/opportunity.

Cons

Clear communication on expectations and delivery of product.
Clean pricing structure and development costs.
Ongoing support during deployment and integration.

Return on Investment

ROI was zero. We spent weeks of time and whatever license cost for a product that did not deliver.
Support for the product IS mediocre at best.
I can not get a refund on time wasted for this implementation process.

Engagement Director in Sales at Mission: Hope (11-50 employees employees)

Pros

Color coding different accounts or data fields.
Ability to see travel time and not just distance.
Lots of data fields to pull from - big recent improvement.

Cons

They just restructured their pricing model and we are ending our contract because of it - you have to pay for 10 users.
The crossover with accounts and contacts are hard to map.
The window sizes when navigating the maps are difficult to work with.

Return on Investment

For the first time, we were able to see donors on a map which was life-changing.
Its allowed us to target donors on trips and other email campaigns when we haven’t been able to before.
